  • I was finally getting started on Capital this weekend, and he makes an offhand note about diamonds regarding their value, basically saying: “If we were to contrive a way to create diamonds from carbon, the price of diamonds would fall to the price of bricks”. Well, it turns out In general, lab-created diamonds are about 60-90% cheaper than natural diamonds. They may not be “The price of bricks” but they sure are a hell of a lot cheaper than natural diamonds.

  • Okay, just to be clear;

    Tencent/Alibaba/the CCP/whatever

    This is not clear.

    Edit: OOOh lol, I see, if you geolocate the IP address in the logs its ISP is “Alibaba Cloud (Singapore) Private Limited” and the location is “Singapore”.

    I hope they understand that, anyone could just sign up for an Alibaba Cloud account. They provide services in English. I'm sure you can just set the VPS's region too if you wanted.

  • Round'm up, put them in a room, make them all be friends. They all have that in common.

    Jokes aside, maintaining relationships is not easy, and the capitalism does not make it easier.

  • Real loony bin behavior.

    Edit: Point of clarification, if you watch the video and listen closely with headphones, you can hear she is clearly saying “Go back to China where they are committing genocide… Go back to China where they are committing genocide”.

    In some ways, even worse than what was reported.

  • It's almost like, if you train a robot to write text based on books written in the 1950s, then train a robot to detect text written by that robot (who is writing text as if it were a book from the 1950s), then naturally that robot will think a book from the 1950s is written by the first robot.

  • Hey bud, good effort but I ran your report through an "AI Detection" website and it said it was 89% positive you used AI to write this. I'm going to have to give you an F on the assignment unless you rewrite it again but in your own words.

  • Materialist works for me in most settings, but I usually don't lead with my own label.

  • Owen Heart died in the ring when his harness failed and he hit a turnstiles during an entrance. Undertaker had his face scorched pretty bad and had to perform through it. It isn't just the in ring stunts that do damage. Its a live stunt performance, and its all very dangerous.

  • It didn't really look like they had traffic laws. I didn't see any signs, and the cars were just trying not to hit each other.

    LOL No signs mean = No laws. The start of that video looked like me trying to pull out of the parking spaces along the road near our daycare. Me, just trying not to hit other cars. I guess we don't have traffic laws either by that standard.

  • Probably only watched the animated version which is a bad adaptation.

  • The cackling from the audience, the shock, and confusion by the sudden outburst, the sinking revelation washing over her face and her delayed reaction to utterly and completely letting the cat clear out of the bag. A classic self own. I'd give it an 8 out of 10, it's closer to a 9 then a 7.

    Watch this Lisa, you can actually pinpoint the second when her brain catches up with her mouth:

  • Heh look at that flip around Nov. and Jan. and how quickly it flipped back. It didn't take long at all for people to shake off the post election high and come back to reality.

  • Global stability and prosperity will inevitably chip away at the vectors of control held by the empire. As its influence wanes, it will likely drive turmoil at home, as it may have to transition away from its service economy into a more productive and useful economy on the global playfield. If the dedollarization efforts continue at pace, it will only further weaken its position. Plurality appears to be the name of the game in the next 10+ years.

  • This isn't new, interesting or noval information. If you run whats app from the desktop app or from web.WhatsApp.com on you're browser on a PC then no shit they know your on your PC

    Why does it matter if the people I'm chatting with know if in onnmy PC?
